From BA (Sept 2006): New bottle design, the label now has Demeter, the Godess of Spring and Fertility on it. Poured very nicely, good clean light amber colour with a solid white foaming head, which stayed for the whole pint. Floral, slight hoppy aroma, nothing heavy, but pleasant and almost sweet. The Maris Otter barley gives the whole beer a slightly sweetish flavour, which in my taste, gave it a weaker mouthfeel than I had hoped for. The beer is still very, very drinkable.

(Bottle) Clear copper, good head. Bready malt aroma. Light body. well carbonated. Flavour starts malty but has a disappointing thin sharp bitter finish. Ok, but not great.

Clear amber beer. Soft and smooth - nicely balanced smooth malt and very mild hop fruitiness. Fresh and enticing.
